2. Tilt the seatback to the desired posi-
tion.
3. Release the adjusting lever to lock the
seatback in position.

The seatback may also be reclined to
allow occupants to rest when the vehicle
is parked.
WARNINGO Do not ride in a moving vehicle when the
seatback is reclined. This can be danger-
ous. The shoulder belt will not be
against your body. In an accident, you
could be thrown into it and receive neck
or other serious injuries. You could also
slide under the lap belt and receive se-
rious internal injuries.
O For the most effective protection when
the vehicle is in motion, the seat should
be upright. Always sit well back in the
seat and adjust the seat belt properly.
See ªPrecautions on seat belt usageº
later in this section.
O After adjustment, gently rock in the seat
to make sure it is securely locked.

CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLATION
ON REAR SEAT OUTBOARD OR
CENTER POSITIONS
WARNINGO The three-point seat belt in your vehicle
is equipped with an automatic locking
mode retractor which must be used
when installing a child restraint.
O Failure to use the automatic locking
mode will result in the child restraint not
being properly secured. The restraint
could tip over or otherwise be unsecured
and cause injury to the child in a sudden
stop or collision.
Front facing When you install a child restraint in a rear
outboard or center seat, follow these
steps:
1. Position the child restraint on the
seat. Always follow the restraint
manufacturer's instructions. The back of the child restraint should be
secured against the vehicle seatback. If
necessary, adjust or remove the head re-
straint to obtain the correct child restraint
fit. See ªHead restraint adjustmentº ear-
lier in this section. If the head restraint is
removed, store it in a secure place. Be
sure to install the head restraint when the
child restraint is removed. If the seating
position does not have an adjustable
head restraint and it is interfering with
the proper child restraint fit, try another
seating position or a different child re-
straint. SSS0252A

2. Route the seat belt tongue through the
child restraint and insert it into the
buckle until you hear and feel the
latch engage. Be sure to follow the
child restraint manufacturer's instruc-
tions for belt routing. 3. Pull on the shoulder belt until all of
the belt is fully extended. At this time,
the belt retractor is in the automatic
locking mode (child restraint mode). It
reverts back to emergency locking
mode when the belt is fully retracted. 4. Allow the belt to retract. Pull up on the
belt to remove any slack in the belt.SSS0253G SSS0254H SSS0332C

5. Before placing the child in the child
restraint, use force to push the child
restraint from side to side, and tug it
forward to make sure that it is se-
curely held in place. It should not
move more than 1 in (25 mm). If it
does move more than 1 in (25 mm),
pull again on the shoulder belt to fur-
ther tighten the child restraint. If un-
able to properly secure the restraint,
move the restraint to another rear
seating position and try again, or try a
different child restraint. Not all child
restraints fit in all types of vehicles. 6. Check that the retractor is in the auto-
matic locking mode by trying to pull
more belt out of the retractor. If you
cannot pull any more belt webbing out
of the retractor, the belt is in the auto-
matic locking mode.
7. Check to make sure that the child re-
straint is properly secured prior to
each use. If the belt is not locked, re-
peat steps 3 through 6.
After the child restraint is removed and
the seat belt is fully retracted, the auto-
matic locking mode (child restraint mode)
is canceled.

O After removing a rear seat head restraint
for top tether installation, store it se-
curely to prevent it from causing injury to
passengers or damage to the vehicle in
case of sudden braking or an accident.
Always replace it and adjust properly
when top tether is no longer in use.
If your child restraint has a top tether
strap, it must be secured to the anchor
point provided behind its position. First, adjust the seatback so that it is up-
right (if so equipped). Remove the anchor
cover from the anchor point as illustrated.
Keep the removed cover in a secure place
to prevent loss or damage. Then secure
the child restraint with the rear seat belt
or the LATCH system (outboard positions),
as applicable.
Remove the head restraint from the seat-
back, if equipped with an adjustable rear
head restraint. Store it in a secure place.
Position the top tether strap over the top
of the seatback and secure it to the tether
anchorage that provides the straightest
installation. Tighten the tether strap ac-
cording to the manufacturer's instruction
to remove any slack.
For best child restraint fit, see the child
restraint installation instructions in this
section and the child restraint manufac-
turer's instructions. Anchor point locations Anchor points are located on the rear par-
cel shelf finisher.
If you have any questions when installing
a top strap child restraint on the rear seat,
consult an INFINITI dealer for details.SSS0282
